Dave, I think your concern about break in time, and the cost of proof and sighting in self defense ammo is a bit overstated. I currently own 8 9mm handguns none of which are overly expensive but were well researched before I bought them. In almost every case the first time out at the range they performed flawlessly right out of the box, sighting was not a major issue, and shooting fmj or hollow points didn’t appear to present any major problems as well. I like to rotate my carry firearms frequently and go to the range frequently to shoot. I have felt comfortable carrying any of those firearms after one or two times at the range which to me is not an extensive amount of time between first use and carry.

Perhaps. However, on the other end of the spectrum, I have far too many who complained that ammo was too expensive to run a box through it simply to proof it, or state they bought the cheapest ammo they could find thinking a quality self defense ammo was too expensive. Perhaps I worry more about those with penny wise pound foolish mentality than someone like yourself who seems to be be doing it right by making informed decisions. ~Dave Dolbee
